benh performance problem

[Mikolaj Krzewicki]

hi all,
starting 2.6.0-test9-benh3 i noticed an increased system overhead on my
ibook 500. Each process eats much more cpu time than in 2.4 or even
vanilla 2.6.
gkrellm takes 1% instead of 0.1, xmms 5% instead of ~1% and so on.
I benchmarked the lot with octave and it indeed runs ~10% slower on the
benh kernels.
I would use vanilla 2.6.1 but it won't sleep/wake correctly (at all).
All pre-2.6.0-test9-benh3 kernels worked fast but would't sleep/wake either.
I tried to isolate the patch responsible but failed.
Has anybody come across similar behaviour?
greetings, M.
